Abstract
A device for mounting a binding component onto a ski and providing for longitudinal adjustment thereof on and with respect to the ski. A carriage for carrying the binding component is arranged for slidable adjustment along a ski. Either the carriage or a device fixed to the ski carry a toothed rail and the other thereof carries a toothed locator positioned for crosswise motion relative to the ski into and out of engagement with the toothed rail. A light spring holds the locator in normal engagement with the toothed rail. A manual device is provided for disengagement of the parts upon moving of the locator crosswise of the ski against the spring. This enables the spring to be relatively light inasmuch as it functions only to hold the locator in rail engaging position and the locator may be easily disengaged by simply direct movement thereof against the spring. After adjustment of the carriage is completed, the locator may be caused to reengage with the toothed rail by releasing same to permit the spring to move the locator back to a position effecting such engagement.
